Although we are well into 2009, Mod DB’s 7th annual Mod of the Year (2008) awards are still underway. In fact, on Friday the award for the Best Art Direction in a TC (total conversion) mod was announced, bestowing The Delta Sector - a Far Cry mod - with the winning title.
It’s somewhat of a rarity to witness an ambitious mod concept to be relentlessly toiled upon. Often, mod developers are forced to rely heavily on support from their fans, in addition to countless hours (off the clock, mind you) of coding, animating, and mapping on their part, in order to see a mod through to even its most elementary stages. Indeed, mods are somewhat a labor of love; though, they consistently remain the underdogs that everyone loves to cheer for — especially when they are shown to produce something truly amazing. Though, with Dystopia, the ever-popular cyberpunk mod for Half-Life 2, ‘amazing’ seems too weak a definition. Read More »

So, I’m going to level with you folks today. I’m 6’ tall and around 250 pounds depending on what shoes I’m wearing. During the course of my life, I’ve been referred to as stout, husky, girthy, and even voluptuous on more than one occasion. I walk down back alleys with relative aplomb knowing that not many people want to tangle with a large bearded man, glasses or no glasses. All of that aside, there is an inordinate amount of kickass females in the world of gaming that make me quiver in my boots.
Read that statement again. If this was real life, I’d pretty much already be emasculated and ashamed, assuming I wasn’t talking about the local college’s female rugby team. Read More »

The results are in, and it’s a tie. It has been an interesting research process, and despite my hypothesis, storyline-based and graphics-based games currently share the majority of Steam’s popularity contest. The PC gaming market is a very broad one, and good thing, too. It looks like every angle of research production (when done well) is given its due. At least for now. In looking at the top six most popular games currently being sold on Steam, the score is 3 to 3.
